I doubt anyone prefers their name to be spelled with octal escape characters. Thanks, Thorsten

No I'm not suggesting to leave it as-is. But I also suspect they spell it that way on LinkedIn etc. because it's the path of least resistance, not because it's the correct spelling. I was hoping someone who's more familiar with Vietnamese (I believe) spelling would chime in and tell us which is correct. > I doubt anyone prefers their name to be spelled with octal escape > characters. Sure, but it wouldn't have been octal escapes in the original character encoding, it would have appeared, I believe, as Mimi Phûông-Thåo Võ. cheers
